He was so kind in playing all her favourite artists he even adapted songs he doesn’t usually do for my sister. I can’t recommend James enough, he’s professional, approachable, he provided an excellent background up beat vibe to the afternoon whilst also helping us to organise singing to Andrea. James is great to work with once he knew what we needed he went away and organised his set and it was perfect. He’s also very flexible as it started raining briefly at the party and he relocated inside. He has a lovely voice many guests commented on how great they thought he was . Thanks James” Read more

The initial call we had with him post booking allayed any concerns we may have had about booking his services. He gave knowledgeable advice about how to get the best out of our venue acoustics wise and also gave valuable suggestions regards set times. On our wedding day he had had arrived at the venue hours early to ensure no issues and his whole performance was excellent. The stand out for me was how good James' voice is. He could move seamlessly between genres and multiple times guests were asking where we got him from as he was so good! I'd definitely recommend James. A polite, friendly and organised performer that I would not hesitate booking for any future event. Thanks again, James!” Read more
